Tips for success

Practise, practise, practise exam questions. Do not just read, revision must be active. You need to be able to link the theory you have learnt to what the question is asking. At the end of each revision session try a few exam questions to test yourself.

Use information in different ways to ensure it goes into your long term memory.

Use "mind maps"/"spider diagrams" to display revision notes.

Make flash cards - these can help summarise key notes/phrases & in turn you'll be able to visualise the card in an exam.

Use Acronyms - making a word that's made up of the initial letters of other words.

Mnemonics - Think up a sentence, song or rap that helps you to remember the subject content. It may feel silly doing this but it's surprising how easily you'll remember key info in an exam using this method!
